Problem is there can be differences between the amps even though they are the same model when you start talking about amps from the 70s. On the surface I would be more interested in that 77 JMP. Since I cannot play either its impossible to get you a answer.

I would suggest not buying either blind on hearsay. You really need to vet your gear and play them yourself. If you can't be sure you have a clear understanding about returning the amp if you don't like it.
